so as you guys can tell from the introduction as well as the title this video is dedicated to my recap it's a little bit of a mini review on the Razer edge this is the third video in my series which got started with the tablet unboxing it was followed by an unboxing of the game controller this is actually a couple of different components you're looking at you do not need to buy them together though I get the feeling that most people interested in this device will probably end up getting the package in this fashion if you're interested in pricing and availability the links are down in the description but my warning to you will be the same as it was in the first video this thing is not cheap it's for a very special individual who wants to have a special device unlike other people you really can't find a tablet that's this powerful with this number of interfacing options besides the Razer edge this one is the edge pro which means it's packing an Intel Core i7 dual core with a base clock speed of 1.9 gigahertz and it can turbo up to 3 gigahertz it's also got 8 gigs of ddr3 memory and maybe most importantly it has discreet graphics an Nvidia GT 640 ml II which packs in 2 gigabytes of ddr3 memory that's dedicated video memory so all these specs combined sort of point to like a gaming laptop or a laptop like experience except in this case you're not looking at a laptop instead you're looking at a tablet so you're going to be able to play PC games in this case I'll go ahead and boot up steam as you guys have seen in the last video it will run PC games no problem you will need to remap your favorite keyboard based games to work with the controller interface but the power is actually not the issue and you may remember in the last video I also mentioned the ability to hook up you know USB keyboard and mouse and actually game on this thing in a traditional PC fashion that's totally possible you're totally capable of doing that with a device that's this powerful you've got a 10.1 inch IPS display that's a 1366 by 768 resolution it's multi-touch and it happens to be one of the nicest multi-touch experiences that I've had on a tablet the reason I say that is because it's just really responsive there aren't too many missed key presses and I'd have to say it exceeded my expectations because Razer is new to this business they don't have a huge track record in the tablet space so my expectations were kind of low on that front but I was pleasantly surprised a little bit more detail on the screen it is a 10.1 inch IPS display packing 1366 by 768 pixels so IPS is good especially for a device like this because you want to get the best viewing angles possible and this definitely delivers on that front even as you move to the side of the screen you're not going to lose the image in any way you've also got Windows 8 as you'd expect so those specs on their own for a tablet are pretty damn interesting but things get a lot more interesting when you start considering this controller it has a built in battery so it's going to extend the battery life on your device but more importantly it's going to give you a console like gaming experience in a way that you're not used to having it and in something that you can essentially fit into your backpack so it's kind of got a console element to it it's got a PC gaming element to it it's got a portable gaming element to it it's just really really strange in a good way I do like seeing devices like this that really sort of stretch the boundaries on what we expect to see in the consumer electronics world I've personally seen nothing like this before and that's always exciting to get a chance to analyze devices that are completely unique but because it's so unique the price tag as I said earlier in this video is a little bit higher than what most people would probably consider paying for what will likely be a secondary device to a laptop or desktop PC yes you can get a gaming laptop for less money than this entire outfit but I think that that kind of misses the point and that's not really the argument if you have the money to spend on this will you enjoy it probably yes you could definitely enjoy this thing I know it's not for the faint of heart you could easily blow over $1000 on this thing so if you don't have a nice PC I probably wouldn't recommend getting it get yourself a nice PC first and then have this as a supplementary device but then that's kind of tough to say nowadays because a lot of people are getting a ton of work done on their tablets and since this tablet is essentially a piece see you could probably get even more work done on it so it's really hard to say whether or not this is a legitimate device worth considering or not it really depends on how you see yourself using it and whether or not you can see a value proposition in the edge Pro anyway guys that wraps up my thoughts on this device I hope you enjoyed this video if you did make sure to leave a thumbs up down below and I'll catch on the next one
